Matt hows the Attic room coming? Any photos? Those ATC's look mint.
Im trying to get as much stuff sorted as i can at the moment, everythings where it needs to be but just lots of customs with bits that need finishing off. Will be posting some pics soonish.

I have 5 Rapid fires all sitting here too, Hopper. At least two different Green variants and two sticker variants. :-)

Alas only one ATC, if I was a guessing man, the darker variant. But I'm just guessing as I have no real basis of comparison.

No, not common knowledge... well, unless you buggers all knew, and decided not to tell me... :.
I noticed ages ago trying to piece together matching coloured caopies and cockpits, one of those things I thought was too obvious for a man who likes to hunt for nipples on gas masks ;-)
LOL!

But you forget, I am a poor man who likes to hunt for nipples (not exclusively on gas masks... anywhere really!)
Thus, I have only ever seen and touched one ATC... two ATCs would be an extravagance!

That's the problem with this variant hunting lark - it's all comparative, and if you've nowt to compare it to...

We should all have a swap meet - get together, bring all your AF bits, and have a good look at each other's bits.
I don't know if I want my bits pored over though only for you all to declare that they are some kind of weird variant or, worst of all, some kind of Friday afternoon special...

I hate variants, I just throw them in the bin.

Chopper have you got a picture of your ATC? I should be able to tell you which as the Camo is slightly different as well.

Ahhh.
I don't suppose you have a picture, do you.

I knew there were two types of Rapd Fire - Stickered Insignia and Painted Insignia, but colour variations and sticker variants... you guys are killing me!

The stickered one is a darker green, hopper. Also, under the sticker I can see a little of the original Z logo on it. So the sticker has been put over the painted logo.

I've been busy repairing a few so have got quite familiar with them.
